82 单选题There are two moments that Alice and Henry remember with exceptional poignancy. The first occurred near the beginning of their relationship, when they looked at each other with the full knowledge of loving and being loved. Years later, they looked into each other's eyes and suddenly saw a stranger; their attitudes shaped by hurt and anger.
This couple came to consult me because they wanted to learn if there was any possibility of re-igniting the flame that had once burned between them. ① Both acted almost ashamed, as if they knew they once had something precious and had somehow betrayed it. ②
Alice and Henry asked me a question I hear many times in my counseling practice. Are there specific ways in which couples who remain happy in love behave differently from couples who do not? The answer, I told them, is yes．My own studies, as well as those of other marriage counselors, show that happy couples consistently exhibit these behaviors: They say, “I love you.”Happy couples express their love in words. They do not say, “What do you mean, do I love you? I married you, didn't I?”“ Saying the words,” one woman remarked, “is a way of touching.”They express their appreciation and admiration．Successful couples talk about what they like in each other.
“My husband had always been my best audience,” one woman said to me. “Whether it's something I did at work that day, or a clever remark I made at party—he seems to notice everything. He lets me see his pride and delight. I feel like I'm standing in the most marvelous spotlight. I only hope I'm as good at expressing my appreciation of him, because I'll tell you something: being loved is the second-best thing in the world； loving someone is the best. ”
They reveal themselves to each other. Happy couples share their inner lives with each other more than with any other person. They share thoughts, feelings, hopes and aspirations as well as hurt, anger, longing, and memories of painful or embarrassing experiences. They offer each other emotional support. Couples who are happy are there for each other in times of illness, difficulty and crisis. They are best friends and nurture each other.
They express love materially. Happy couples give gifts on more than just routine occasions, or perform tasks in order to lighten the partner's burdens. The cost of such gifts is not relevant. What is relevant is the underlying intention: to give pleasure to the partner. The reward is the expression of joy or satisfaction on the partner's face.
They accept demands and put up with shortcomings. Demands and shortcomings are integral to every happy relationship. So are the benevolence and grace with which successful couples respond to them. They do not torment themselves or each other over imperfections. Each knows he or she is not perfect. Both understand that their partner's virtues outweigh his or her flaws. They choose to enjoy the positives rather than drown the relationship in a preoccupation with the negative

87 单选题The average young American now spends practically every waking minute—except for the time in school，though reluctantly—using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic devices, according to a new study.
Those ages 8 to 18 spend seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago. And that does not count the hour and a half that youths spend texting，or the half hour they talk on their cellphones. And because so many of them are multitasking—say, surfing the Internet while listening to music—they pack on average nearly 11 hours of media content into that seven and a half hours.
The study's findings shocked its authors, who had concluded in 2005 that use could not possibly grow further, and confirmed the fears of many parents whose children are constantly tethered to media devices. ① It found, moreover, that heavy media use is associated with several negatives, including behavior problems and lower grades.
Dr. Michael Rich, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital Boston who directs the Center on Media and Child Health, said that with media use so ubiquitous, it was time to stop arguing over whether it was good or bad and accept it as part of children's environment, “like the air they breathe, the water they drink and the food they
eat.”
Contrary to popular wisdom, the heaviest media users reported spending a similar amount of time exercising as the light media users. Nonetheless, other studies have established a link between screen time and obesity.
While most of the young people in the study got good grades, 47 percent of the heaviest media users—those who consumed at least 16 hours a day—had mostly C's or lower, compared with 23 percent of those who typically consumed media three hours a day or less. The heaviest media users were also more likely than the lightest users to report that they were bored or sad, or that they got into trouble, did not get along well with their parents and were not happy at school. The study could not say whether the media use causes problems, or, rather, whether troubled youths turn to heavy media use.
“This is a stunner,”said Donald F. Roberts, one of the authors of the study. “In the second report, I remember writing a paragraph saying we've hit a ceiling on media use, since there just aren't enough hours in the day to increase the time children spend on media. ② But now it's up an hour. ”

93 单选题A message to House Democrats: This is your moment of truth. You can do the right thing and pass the Senate health care bill. Or you can look for an easy way out, make excuses and fail the test of history.
Tuesday's Republican victory in the Massachusetts special election means that Democrats can't send a modified health care bill back to the Senate. That's a shame because the bill that would have emerged from House-Senate negotiations would have been better than the bill the Senate has already passed. ① But the Senate bill is much, much better than nothing. And all that has to happen to make it law is for the House to pass the same bill, and send it to President Obama's desk. Right now, Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, says that she doesn't have the votes to pass the Senate bill. But there is no good alternative.
Some are urging Democrats to scale back their proposals in the hope of gaining Republican support. But anyone who thinks that would work must have spent the past year living on another planet. The fact is that the Senate bill is a centrist document, which moderate Republicans should find entirely acceptable. In fact, it's very similar to the plan Mitt Romney introduced in Massachusetts just a few years ago. Yet it has faced lock-step opposition from the G. O. P. , which is determined to prevent Democrats from achieving any successes.② Why would this change now that Republicans think they're on a roll?
Alternatively, some call for breaking the health care plan into pieces so that the Senate can vote the popular pieces into law. But anyone who thinks that would work hasn't paid attention to the actual policy issues. Think of health care reform as being like a three-legged stool．You would, rightly, ridicule anyone who proposed saving money by leaving Off one or two of the legs. Well, those who propose doing only the popular pieces of health care reform deserve the same kind of ridicule.
Now what about the suggestion that Democrats use reconciliation to enact health reform? That's a real option, which may become necessary. But reconciliation, which is basically limited to matters of taxing and spending，probably can't be used to enact many important aspects of reform. ③ In fact, it's not even clear if it could be used to ban discrimination based on medical history.
Ladies and gentlemen, the nation is waiting. Stop whining, and do what needs to be done.阅读以上文章，回答题We can infer that the author is __________ Democrats' proposals in the health care bill.

97 单选题The purpose of the passage is to __________．

98 单选题He is waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first notices the young woman. She has glossy black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head—the man imagines it loosed and cascading to her small back—and carries over her shoulder of her leather coat a heavy black purse. She wears black boots of soft leather. He struggles to see her face—she is ahead of him in line—but it is not until she has bought her ticket and turns to walk away that he realizes her beauty, which is pale and dark-eyed and full-mouthed, and which quickens his heart beat.① She seems aware that he is staring at her and lowers her gaze abruptly.
The airline clerk interrupts. The man gives up looking at the woman—he thinks she may be about twenty-five—and buys a round-trip, coach class ticket to an eastern city. His flight leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man steps into one of the airport cocktail bars and orders a scotch and water. While he sips it he watches the flow of travelers through the terminal—including a remarkable number, he thinks, of unattached pretty women dressed in fashion magazine clothes—until he catches sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat. She is standing near a Travelers Aid counter, deep in conversation with a second girl, a blond in a cloth coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunette's attention, to invite her to have a drink with him before her own flight leaves for wherever she is traveling, but even though he believes for a moment she is looking his way he cannot catch her eye from out of the shadows of the bar. ② In another instant the two women separate；neither of their direction is toward him. He orders a second scotch and water.
When next he sees her, he is buying a magazine to read during the flight and becomes aware that someone is jostling him. At first he is startled that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he sees who it is he musters a smile. “Busy place,” he says. She looks up at him—is she blushing?—and an odd grimace crosses her mouth and vanishes. She moves away from him and joins the crowds in the terminal.
The man is at the counter with his magazine, but when he reaches into his back pocket for his wallet the pocket is empty. Where could I have lost it? He thinks．His mind begins enumerating the credit cards, the currency, the membership and identification cards; his stomach churns with something very like fear. The girl who was so near to me, he thinks—and all at once he understands that she has picked his pocket.阅读以上文章，回答题Which of the following about the young woman is CORRECT?
